I've got one level 80 character. I could skip the other dungeons and go right to the end, but at least on my first character I'd like to play through all the dungeons once. Course I actually have to get to them first, and while I'm in the area I'll want to complete the map. So I'll probably not actually kill the elder dragon for another year. I'm not in hurry. I didn't finish any of the 3 Guild Wars 1 campaigns in first year either. I don't understand people who rush to the end.

I haven't actually been playing much Guild Wars 2 since I bought a non-renewing 60 day subscription to Star Wars: The Old Republic. Once that subscription runs out I'll get back into Guild Wars 2

In Guild Wars 1 its Canthan New Year. It the Year of the Snake but you can trade in 100 lunar token for a medal that gets you one of any of the celestial animal mini and I choose the rat from 2008. If I wanted to spend the rest of the weekend in GW1 I could actually get more tokens and trade them in for fortunes which have a tiny chance of giving any one of the celestial animal minis, but I don't want to. After playing Guild Wars 2 (and SW: TOR) Guild Wars 1 seems so slow. And I keep trying to press F instead of clicking mouse on NPCs (laugh).

Yes I flipped their professions as well as genders. Had a hard time finding the norn's name. Every norse, icelandinc, scandiavian, swedish name was taken. I was stunned when i entered Loviisa and opening video ran.
